A Great Invention,

Tests of q new process for hardeniD e
and tempering steel, Were recently
made in the presence of the stall OF
the Courier Journal, ,at Louisville, Ky,
by which hardness ami elasticity are
carried forward in combination. A
drill made of new steel penetrated in
forty minutes steel safe plate war
ranted to resist any burglar drill for
twelve hours. A pen knife, tempered
by the process, cut the stem of steel
key readily, and with the same blade
the inventor shaved hairs Oh his arm.
A number of other interesting and
successful tests were made. The in
ventor is young blacksmith who has
been experimenting with the process
for years, and who claims that the
temperiug is conducted without the
expense of skilled labor, and is me-
chanically a perfect equaliz itioL. He
has also a new process for converting
iron into steel at small expense. He
claims to be able to make steel plate
so elastic and hard as to turn "a ball
firad from the heaviest gun ever con-
structed. The invention is secret,
not having been patented, and a COM
pany has been Incorporated to push it,
with Hon. Charles Godshaw as gen
eral manager. 1t is intended to call
the attention of the Navy Dep, rtmeat
to the discovery, and ask for facilities
to test the steel made by the process,

IL. Il. Accident at NewburE.

The night express, leaving C!eve.
land about one o'clock Friday, ia
charge of Conductor Lewis Myers
met with what might have proved a
frightful accident but for the cautious
running of the engineer. Knowing
the flooded condition of the track, and
consequent liability to accident, he
was running fifteen miles al hour as
the train approached the iron bridge
sixty feet in length, spanning the lit.
tie creek at Newburg, at a height oi
eighteen feet. The track for some
distance from the bridge was Hooded
so that it could not be- seen. When
the locomotive struck the bridge the
engineer felt the structure tremhle
and before he could reverse the lever
the bridge fell with terrible crash
The engine was precipitated into the
stream below. and the baggage car
plunged after it, falling on its side hall
of its length in the creek and the 9th
er half on the bank. The express car
and the smoker were jammed together
between the rear coaches and the
wreck, and were thrown over toward
the embankment. The front end OF
the day coach was crushed in and to-
tally wrecked, but the car remained
on the track with the sleeper that was
in the rear of the train. When the
locomotive leaped into the stream,
engineer D. Sterrett and fireman J.
Hines were in the cab The cab door
closed as the engine fell, and penned
in the two men. They fortunately Y
extricated themselves and waded to
sh ore. Neither sustained injury other
than few bruises aud scratches, Bag
gage master John Kenney received
several severe cuts about the head
and was injured internally about the
chest. The express messenger escaped
with few cuts on the left arrl and
hand. Only one passenger and a
brakeman were in the smoker, and
both escaped. Fifteen passengers in
the day coach-including four ladies'
were badly shaken up. A fire broke
out in a pile of waste in the baggage
car, but WAS quickly extinguished. A
wrecking train following the express
was SOON at the scene of the accident,
aud work was at once commenced in
removing the debris, and Friday night
the track was clear. The sleeper and
day coach We're removed to the New
burg yards, where the passengers pass
ed the night. The bridge carpenters
from the Wellsville shops arrived IN
the morning, and completed the con-
struction of q temporary trestle so
that all trains ran through Saturday
without hindrance.

Washington Letter.
WAsHINGToN, D. g., Feb. IL, 1SS'

WASHINGTON, d. O., Feb. IL, 1887.
Congress lie working rather spas
medically in these last weeks of its
life. Last week it was industrious, but
now it is taking its short life easily.
On Wednesday large amount OF
obituary cloquence was expended in
the Senate in honor of the late Senator
Logan, and in the House similar eulo
CYSTIC speeches were made in honor of
Mr.. Price, the late Representative
from Wisconsin. These memorial ser.
vices consume great deal of time, but
they are not business, and it was hoped
that the useless custom would be ab-
rOgated before the end of this session.
The President acknowledges him
self very much worried over the selec.
tion ofsuitable persons to serve on the
Inter State Commerce Commission
He says nothing has given him more
concern since he came into office, he
is so desirous that the members of the
Commission shall be practical men of
affairs and acceptable to the majority
of all parties concerned. It is stated
by Congressman who processes to
know that Col. Morrison has been of
fered his choice between the Chair
manship of the Commission and the
Secretsryship of the Treasury Depart
ment. Tt is understood that the Pres
ident will not appoint any member of
either the Senate or House who has
been elected to the Fiftieth Congress.
AS the session draws steadily to a
close it is feared nothing will be done
to change Inauguration day from the
4th of March to the 30th of April. Un.
less the proposed amendment to the
Constitution is submitted by this Con-
gress, the change cannot be made in
1885, and the next inaugural procession
will be compelled to face the pneumo-
nia-breoding gales of March. There
are 30 many presidential aspirants in
Congress who are interested on this
subject that it is to be hoped the mat
ter will be pushed through in the
closing hours of the session, when so
many schemes pass through with u
rush. Almost every body fsvors the
change, and no argument in its behalf
is needed. A few minutes of action is
ali that Is necessary.
Much interest is felt to know what
the President will do with that disa-
bility pension bill, or the psuper pen
sion bill, "a it is called. Mott that it Is

Land Monopoly in Europe,

In Henry Georges reply to the re.

"If you go into Ireland you may
see all through the country the sites
OF once pOpulous villages, now by the
individual ownership of land given
over to the breeding of cattle. If you
go through Scotland you may see
thousands and thousands of acres from
which, 10y the individual ownership
of land, men have been driven in order
to give place to deer and grouse. If
you will go into England, you may
see great tracts which, by the opera
ton of Individual ownership of land,
nave passed out of cultivation, while
the descendants of the men who once
titled them are crowded into poor
houses, or huddled together in the
soul destroying Sums of the cities.

a bill for paupers, but bill to make
paupers out ofselfsupporting citizens.
1t was not supposed that the bill stood
any chance of passing, not even by
the demagOgues, claim agents and
de2d-beats who advocated it, but the
inizs as the soldiers champions was
underrated. They managed to pass
this one of the most reckless speci-
mems of legislation evor presented in
Congress, and thus throw upon DEM
ocratic President the responsibility of
standing in its way.
AS loud a howl of Indignation came
up from the country over the passage
of this universal pension bill as was
| the shout of congratulation over the
defense bill, passed by the Senate a
few days ago. just think that after
Republican Administrations have ex
pended in the last eighteen years,
eight times fifty millions for naval
purposes there is nothing to show for
it today. Secretary Whitney has just
issued an order that some of Uncle
Sans old hulks be sold. He men,
tions eight condemned vessels, such
"a are unfit for further service in the
Navy, lying now at SanFrancisco,
New York and League Islaud.
But the country has reason t0 feel
that practical use will be made of the
money which Congress may vote to be
spent on the Navy. Consequently
